Podcast Network The Roost Rebrands as Podium, Partners with Trisha Paytas
Media company Night has rebranded its podcast network The Roost to Podium, focusing on video-first content. Creator Trisha Paytas' podcast "Just Trish" is the first major partnership signed under the new banner.
The media company Night has rebranded its podcast network, The Roost, to Podium. The new venture aims to be a video-first, cross-platform podcast company designed for creator-led entertainment. As its first major partnership, Night announced that creator and podcast host Trisha Paytas will bring her show "Just Trish" to Podium.
Night, which acquired The Roost in 2024, is expanding its focus beyond traditional podcasting. Podium is built to support creators who are developing audiences across platforms like YouTube, audio services, and social media. The company states that the platform is designed around how audiences consume content today, emphasizing personality-driven shows and engaged fan communities.
Podium's existing roster includes creator-led shows such as "This Past Weekend with Theo Von" and "Sam & Colby Reacts." Collectively, these shows reach over 50 million monthly video and audio impressions and have over 66 million followers across platforms. "Podium reflects who this team and these creators are today, and there's no better way to begin this next chapter than with Trisha," said Reed Duchscher, CEO and Founder of Night.
The platform will manage distribution, audience growth, and brand partnerships for "Just Trish," which has garnered more than 160 million views since its 2019 launch. "My fans show up for everything, and Podium understands how meaningful that is," stated Trisha Paytas.
